<p>Parvinder Bhasin asked us to post an announcement about his new tool. While not officially a tool developed by the Honeynet Project, we thought you should know about some of the great work he is doing. Nepenthes PHARM is a perfect companion to your Nepenthes honeypot installations. PHARM is an Open Source client/server and web portal package, which provides central reporting and analysis of your distributed Nepenthes based honeypots.</p>

<p>Last week I had the honor of being interviewed by the sharp team at PaulDotCom, in which they quized me extensively about honeypots and honeypot technology. I have had the chance to work with John Strands of the team, who is one of the best penetration testers I know, he really knows his stuff and creates great demonstration hacking videos. If you have a chance, check it out, they are smart group of fun guys.<br />

<p>Honeypots have been actively used by the security community for over ten years now. They are used for a variety of purposes, but now a days primarily for information gathering. When honeypots first were being used they generated a great deal of discussion about the legal issues. However, through the years this debate has died down, most organizations feeling these issues are minor. I just wanted to share an update on these thoughts.<br />

<p>The Honeynet Project is excited to announce the release of <a href="/papers/conficker/">Know Your Enemy: Containing Conficker</a>. In this paper we present several potential methods to contain Conficker. The approaches presented take advantage of the way Conficker patches infected systems, which can be used to remotelydetect a compromised system. Furthermore, we demonstrate various methods to detect and remove Conficker locally and a potential vaccination tool is presented.</p>

<p>The Honeynet Project is very excited to announce a <a href="http://iv.cs.uni-bonn.de/conficker">new scanning tool for detecting Conficker </a>and an upcoming Know Your Enemy paper detailing how to contain Conficker.
